Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a comprehensive historical account of the development of national and customary maritime law for the safety of life at sea throughout the nineteenth century, focusing on Great Britain's role as a leading maritime nation. It examines key legislative milestones, the evolution of safety regulations, and the socio-political context that influenced maritime policies. The book also highlights numerous tragic shipwrecks and the often slow legislative response to maritime safety issues. It is intended for scholars, maritime professionals, and anyone interested in maritime history and legal development.
